Saffron Rice Supreme (Iraq)

Timman Azz’affaran

Richly exotic with spices and a hint of sweetness, this is a splendid and evocative dish that dates back to the extravagant Baghdad court of the Abbasid caliph Hurun al Rasheed. It’s ideal for your feast, too, because the rice can be prepared in advance and tossed with the spices before serving.
